How to rehydrate your hair

5 August 2017

The heat of summer and the cold of winter can take their toll on your hair’s vitality. It’s not just what Mother Nature sends your way; heating and air-conditioning systems consequently dry out your hair, slow down growth, reduce strength and diminish shine. So why not give your hair some TLC and use our tips from our Manchester Salon to rehydrate your hair and boost its vitality…

Rehydrate your hair with a spa day

Turn the rehydration into a relaxing event and give yourself some quality time in the process. There are lots of lovely treatments and masks for you to choose from. In Melissa Salons in Manchester, we specialise in the Unite range. Unite have some wonderfully nourishing treatments and as a result, combats hair dehydration. If you need advice on what to use, just pop into the Northern Quarter salon and we can recommend the perfect products to suit your hair.

Alternatively, if you can make it to our Manchester Salon you can give yourself a treat at home, go for one of the following options depending on your hair’s condition

Replenish from the inside

As well as giving your hair a treatment, you can also boost its health by replenishing from the inside out! Nutrition greatly affects the quality and condition of your hair. If you feel your hair lacks lustre and shine, check your diet isn’t a contributing factor. Look to:

Drink lots of water and minimise the amount of alcohol you drink as this dehydrates you.

Remember hair loves Vitamins B, C and E, GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) and the minerals zinc and selenium. Make sure you’re getting plenty of these in your balanced diet, take a supplement.

Adjust your regime to rehydrate your hair

One final tip is to check that your hair regime and choice of daily hair products aren’t consequently causing increased scalp and hair sensitivity. Over washing, intensive drying and reliance on the wrong type of products will result in adding stress your hair. Being aware of anti-again hair care products will ensure you are always rehydrating your hair and giving it the best treatment.
